What are the effects of prolonged exposure to algae on resin surfaces?
Prolonged exposure to algae on resin surfaces can lead to several detrimental effects. Over time, algae growth causes discoloration, turning the resin green or black and diminishing its aesthetic appeal. The organic acids produced by algae can weaken the resin's structural integrity, making it brittle or prone to cracking. Additionally, moisture retention from algae promotes further biological growth, accelerating degradation. In outdoor applications, this can reduce the lifespan of resin-based products like furniture, coatings, or composite materials. Regular cleaning and protective coatings are recommended to mitigate these issues and preserve resin durability.
